*This is part 2…for it to make sense, go back and read part 1 if you haven’t!*

Then one night as we were sitting in worship I heard God say, “Are you really going to choose $40,000 over two years with the people you love most?

Are you really going to choose money over love?”

And it all started to fall into place. It all started to make sense.

God isn’t making me go back to St. Louis. God isn’t putting desires in my heart and asking me to live in a way opposite those desires. He’s giving me a choice and asking me to trust Him to provide once again.

Ultimately, He’s asking me to choose love-love that doesn’t make sense.

It doesn’t make sense to turn down the #1 social work school

                or to turn down $40,000

                                or to go into debt for a job in a typically low-paying field

                                                or to yearn for home after being on my own for six years

But it also doesn’t make sense to pray for healings

 or for God to speak to us

                and for us to act on what He speaks

 or to believe that the world’s savior was beaten, crucified, and raised from the dead.

So while it doesn’t make sense in my logical mind, I believe and I trust that going to U of M is God’s will, and at least for the next two years, I’ll be home in Michigan.
(Fear not all of you who I know and love in St. Louis, both through TFA and Normandy-I’ll be making frequent visits…can’t get rid of me that easy!)

Go Blue!
